[PATCH] drm/i915/dp: Add current maximum eDP link rate to sink_rate array.

If the current eDP link rate, as read from hw, provides a
higher bandwidth than the standard link rates, then add the
current link rate to the link_rates array for consideration
in future mode-sets.

These initial current eDP link settings have been set up by
firmware during boot, so they should work on the eDP panel.
Therefore use them if the firmware thinks they are good and
they provide higher link bandwidth, e.g., to enable higher
resolutions / color depths.

This fixes a problem found on the MacBookPro 2017 Retina panel:

The panel reports 10 bpc color depth in its EDID, and the UEFI
firmware chooses link settings at boot which support enough
bandwidth for 10 bpc (324000 kbit/sec to be precise), but the
DP_MAX_LINK_RATE dpcd register only reports 2.7 Gbps as possible,
so intel_dp_set_sink_rates() would cap at that. This restricts
achievable color depth to 8 bpc, not providing the full color
depth of the panel. With this commit, we can use firmware setting
and get the full 10 bpc advertised by the Retina panel.
